Farewell Flashback Friday

I have been hosting Flashback Friday since March 2013. Before that I co hosted it with Lauren when we took over the linky from Emma who had previously taken over it from Karin , who started this version of the linky waaaaaay back in February 2011!!!

I loved the idea of choosing a photo from the past, either of yourself, your family or your friends and then tell the story about it. The opportunity to relive a memory , remember something good or sad, bad or nice and to recollect how you felt when that photo was taken. I have enjoyed all of my Flashback Friday posts I have shared over the last 3 years and reading those flashbacks that were linked up too – I guess being naturally nosey curious (LOL), I love to read the memories behind the old photos.

When I linked up to that first Flashback Friday hosted by Karin , I was heavily pregnant with my second baby and Burton was my pride and joy. Here is how Burton and I looked back then

So much has happened since then, the birth of Jenson and juggling being a mummy to two and watching Burton and his brother’s relationship blossom over the last 3 1/2 years.It has seen many terrible two, tiresome three, firey four and fearsome five moments! Lots of ups but equally many downs too. Burton started pre school. We moved house. Burton started big school. Jenson started pre school. Hearing both boys walk and talk for the first time and so, so , sooooooo many more memories.

All of these moments, now flashbacks themselves, have all been captured on my blog and I can always look back and remember them, and the boys can too whenever they want too. *This* is what I love about my blog and it is why I started it – to keep memories alive so I will never forget because even when my memory fails me, I can still look back here.

However, all good things come to an end and I am waving goodbye to Flashback Friday after this post, and handing the baton on to Louise from My Three and Me who will be taking it on and giving her own twist on the linky.

My Three and Me

I hope you will continue to share your flashbacks and link up – I might still from time to time 🙂

I would like to thank those who have linked up during the 111 Flashback Friday posts that I have hosted and in particular Laura who has supported me every week (bar her trip to DisneyLand for which she is forgiven lol). I have loved reading about her children and seeing her photos and reading all her memories – thanks lovely for linking up so much 🙂
Also thanks to Tami who has linked up lots too. xxx

So for the final time I say:

This post was brought to you as part of Flashback Friday mummy mishaps

Remember – a flashback can be from any time whether it be yesterday, last week, last month, last year or yesteryear! It can be a flashback of your own, your children, your partner or your friends.
